Yes, asteroids orbit Sun, even meteors and comets. But generally, every pieces of asteroid doesn't have orbits, it has a zone. They bump each other until they form into a larger ones. If an asteroid got out of the zone it now move freely into space and crashes into a planet by gravity. Astronomers now detected a planet, or a dwarf planet, or still an asteroid itself, called Ceres
What else can I help you with?
What is The actual shape of earths orbit around the sun is described as?
Ellipse.
How fast can an asteroid go?
Asteroids orbit the sun at several tens of thousands of miles per hour. The speed varies depending on the orbit.
What two things cause the seasons to change on earth?
There are two things that cause it which are the earths orbit and thetilt of the earths axis.
How is earths tilted in relation to the sun in each month septemberdecembermarch and June?
Tangent to orbit, north away, tangent to orbit, south away.
What objects orbit Mars?
and Jupiter. There are lots of small bodies in direct orbit around the sun called the asteroids (the asteroid belt).
What are the names of the asteroids that cross Earth's orbit and Jupiter's orbit?
Main Belt asteroids -- a band of asteroids located in the "missing planet" gap between Mars and Jupiter. None of these are economically attractive in a near term program because they are too far from Earth.Amor asteroids -- asteroids whose orbits approach but do not cross Earth orbit, and whose orbits are further from the Sun than Earth's orbit (i.e., "outside-t" Earth orbit). Many have orbits which reside entirely between Earth and Mars. Some of these are economically attractive in the near term.Apollo asteroids -- asteroids whose orbits cross Earth's orbit. Apollo asteroids spend most of their time outside Earth orbit. Many of these are economically attractive in the near term.Aten asteroids -- asteroids whose orbits cross Earth's orbit. Unlike Apollos, Atens spend most of their time inside Earth orbit. A large percentage of known Atens are economically attractive in the near term.
Does a asteroid orbit the sun?
Yes. Asteroids orbit the sun.
What is true about asteroids?
Asteroids are small rocky bodies that orbit the Sun, primarily found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. They vary in size, shape, and composition, and some have the potential to collide with Earth. NASA and other space agencies study asteroids to understand their origins and potential impact hazards.
Do comets orbit asteroids?
No. Comets orbit the sun.
How are asteroids and comets the same?
They both orbit the sun.
Do moons and asteroids orbit the sun?
Asteroids orbit the sun. Moons orbit planets and planets orbit the sun. So you could say the moons orbit the sun. However, moons are kept in their orbits by the gravity of their planet and planets are kept in orbit by the gravity of the sun. So in that sense, moons do not orbit the sun.
Does asteroids orbit around the sun?
Yes, they does.
What do asteroids do around the sun and planets?
orbit
Which celestial bodies orbit the Sun?
the asteroid belt, the kuiper belt, and the oort cloud.
What are objects called that orbit the sun in a belt between mars and Jupiter?
The asteroids
What orbit the Sun like planets do?
Asteroids, Comets
What are the object that orbit the sun?
ASTEROIDS
